The Face of Botanicals

Albert Radloff


MGK has a long history of innovation in botanical insect control development, but many people don’t know that the company has expertise in growing the plants from which those active ingredients are cultivated. For that, MGK turns to Radloff: “We want to develop efficacious products for our customers. The best way to do that is to start at the very beginning with the core ingredients,” he said.

Radloff is leveraging over a decade of agriculture experience to help MGK create production centers in key global regions to source the most efficacious botanical active ingredients possible. He does that through building relationships with growers, universities, and technical experts, creating sustainable and profitable farming practices that ensure reliable yield and production of MGK’s products with botanical active ingredients, such as Pyrocide® Fogging Concentrates and Evergreen® Pyrethrum Concentrate.

Radloff has a degree in sustainable cropping systems from the University of Idaho and has completed graduate work in plant genetics from the University of Minnesota.
